The newsman’s colleagues speak out.
Television stars and fans are grappling for answers after the tragic death of popular broadcaster Greg Boyed, a man renowned for bringing fun, light and kindness wherever he went.
The 1 News Tonight anchor and familiar face on our nation’s television screens for more than two decades was holidaying in Switzerland with his international singer-songwriter wife Caroline Chevin, 44, and their three-year-old son Kian when he died suddenly last week.
His heartbroken family released a statement on Wednesday saying the 48-year-old father-of-two – who has a 21-year-old daughter Pip from a previous relationship – had been battling depression.
Word of his death left colleagues stunned and viewers shedding tears as moving tributes aired throughout the day paying respect to the esteemed journalist, whose career spanned 25 years in the TVNZ newsroom on shows such as Breakfast, 1 News, Seven Sharp, Q+A and most recently the late news.
Those who had worked alongside Greg were given the difficult task of delivering the sad news, donning black as they mourned the loss of one of the most talented newscasters in television. It took everything for presenters not to break down as the cameras rolled.
With his voice trembling, 1 News Midday presenter Daniel Faitaua delivered the first of many touching eulogies on air. “We want to acknowledge our friend and colleague Greg Boyed. Our thoughts are with his family, his friends and loved ones. Our newsroom won’t be the same.”
